Joshua 19:11

9 The inheritance of the Simeonites was taken from the territory of Judah, because the share for Judah’s descendants was too large for them. So the Simeonites received an inheritance within Judah’s portion.

10 The third lot came up for the clans of the tribe of Zebulun: The border of their inheritance stretched as far as Sarid.

It went up westward to Maralah, reached Dabbesheth, and met the brook east of Jokneam.

12 From Sarid it turned eastward along the border of Chisloth-tabor and went on to Daberath and up to Japhia.

13 From there it crossed eastward to Gath-hepher and to Eth-kazin; it extended to Rimmon and curved around toward Neah.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
